"The terms 'Caribbean jazz,' 'Creole jazz,' 'Afro-descendant jazz,' or 'Woucikam jazz' have often been used to define my music. I believe these terms are pleonasms, but they are also the most appropriate for defining my musical influences and the music I create."Pléonasme is the name Xavier Belin chose for a multifaceted, constantly evolving musical project. Over the seasons, Pléonasme has become a free musical laboratory, where forms, encounters, and sonic materials are invented that escape traditional frameworks. Each edition explores new territory. For this fourth season, Xavier Belin places drums at the center of the game. An invitation to discover and hear drums differently.Ka drum, voodoo, Haitian, Guyanese, Native American: all have their own language, their own timbre, their own breath. They are instruments of struggle, ritual, and connection. They are simultaneously tools of communication, memory, and creation. Through them, the musicians explore a repertoire combining revisited covers, collective improvisations, and new rhythms, fueled by the trio's raw energy. The residency at Baiser Salé will be an opportunity to evolve this sound over time. Not a static concert, but a series of encounters where the project breathes, transforms, and refines. A way of building music in public, through listening, intensity, and play.For 15 years, #JazzDeDemain has offered young artists the opportunity to perform on stage and refine their repertoire in front of audiences, through a series of monthly and bimonthly residencies.

« Les Termes « jazz caribéen », « jazz créole », « jazz afro descendant » ou encore « jazz woucikam » on été souvent utilisé pour définir ma musique. Selon moi ces termes sont des pléonasmes mais ils sont également les plus adaptés pour déterminer mes influences musicales et la musique que je crée. » Pléonasme, c’est le nom que Xavier Belin a choisi pour un projet musical à facettes multiples, en constante évolution. Au fil des saisons, Pléonasme est devenu un laboratoire musical libre, où s’inventent des formes, des rencontres, des matières sonores qui échappent aux cadres habituels. Chaque édition explore un nouveau terrain. Pour cette 4e saison, Xavier Belin place les tambours au centre du jeu. Une invitation à découvrir et entendre autrement les tambours.Tambour Ka, vaudou, haïtien, guyanais, amérindien : tous ont leur langage, leur timbre, leur souffle. Ce sont des instruments de lutte, de rituel, de lien. A la fois des outils de communication, de mémoire et de création. A travers eux, les musiciens explorent un répertoire mêlant reprises revisitées, improvisations collectives et rythmiques nouvelles, nourries de l’énergie brute du trio. La résidence au Baiser Salé sera l’occasion de faire évoluer cette matière sonore au fil du temps. Pas un concert figé, mais une série de rendez-vous où le projet respire, se transforme, s’affine. Une façon de construire la musique en public, dans l’écoute, l’intensité et le jeu. Depuis 15 ans, #JazzDeDemain offre aux jeunes artistes l'opportunité de se produire sur scène et peaufiner leur répertoire auprès du public, à travers une série de résidences mensuelles et bimestrielles. C'est un espace prometteur et dynamique où la créativité et l'émulation sont sans limites. #SoyezCurieux !
